Yes, it's a refurb... yes, it's a Medion... but for a PC with a 12 months guarantee it's extremely great value for money in my opinion. Will even run some games pretty well too! I think if you put an SSD boot drive in this you'd have a very decent machine.

I dont think the brand matters at all when it comes to PC.. Processors are mostly made by intel.. Rams are made by samsung crucial hynix kingston etc etc... Hard drives are made by wester digital.. Seagate etc etc... Brand of the pc is just a company that puts component manufacturer's parts together.. Therefore whether pc will last long or not doesn't necessarily have much to do with the brand... I think its more to do with the component manufacturers.. But then one thing u gotta take into consideration is the warranty you get.. I think thats the only thing i can think of that is to do with the "brand"

I saw this last night and decided to sleep on it. Researching the components this morning this page popped up... Nearly shat my pants trying to place an order, worrying it might go out of stock. Looks like I got one though and didn't even have to change my underwear- bargain indeed!

As a brand, Medion have always been superb for me - I've had three base units from them over something like 10 or 11 years and all were built well and still going strong.
Additionally, the refurbished units are quite often unused and either have damaged packaging, or have been used as demonstration models for third parties and still to all intents and purposes brand new. If you can find something similar for better money, by all means share - I suspect you're a brand snob though who can't find anything comparable for the price.

This will make a modest entry level gaming PC with no upgrades needed

Tried googling it but I'm still clueless - does anyone know if this would run Sims 4 at a reasonable level please? Mrs Bigtricky is gutted that it's not being ported to console and I don't want to spend a fortune on a computer for her to play one game maybe 2 hours a week! Any help appreciated

well this is stronger than the recommended requirements for sims 4 so should be able to run it pretty well.

The game's hardware requirements are quite low. People were able to play SIMS 4 on highest settings using 750ti. This pc is not a proper gaming rig but it will be more than enough for SIMS 4.

It'll play The Sims 4 perfectly fine. I've seen pretty crappy laptops running it on low-medium, so this would do it High easily!

Well, it is B grade.
And Medion- so unreliable...
Medion warranty services are very poor. Will be waiting for 1-2 months for fixing and return of PC.
Would not recommend it to anyone, unless you wanna trouble.

Is it not £229 as it says including VAT and shipping costs?

Not to bad of a price for a no fuss PC for those that do not wish to build their own system.

You cant build this PC with a i3 and a 750ti for this price anyway.
